Totally muted. Might be off bottle. Good acidity and mouthfeel though.

Took two hours for it to begin showing its colors and that was after decanting. Needs time.

Youthful and shy. Subdued nose and less laser focus than the 08 but a lot of depth and gravitas. Hold.

Initially nose not giving a lot but this opened up with air. Delicate but great intensity on palate. 2nd panel favourite after the Montrachet - wine No 7.

2013 vintage. Minerality, citrus, crisp green apple and pear. Almonds. M+ acid. M body and finish. Very lean. Orange/tangerine zest. Needs time. Very little of this wine was made. Hold it if you have a bottle.
